Ronnie O’Sullivan’s quest for a seventh World Championship title is in danger of ending in the second round after a sensational display by Anthony McGill saw the Scot build a shock 10-6 lead.
McGill, the world number 16, played near flawless snooker as breaks of 71, 126 and 89 helped win the first four frames of session two to go 8-4 up.
The defending champion stopped a seven-frame burst with a break of 92.
But a ton and half century put McGill on top in the best-of-25-frame match.
The pair play to a finish on Friday evening, with the winner facing either 2015 champion Stuart Bingham or Welsh qualifier Jamie Jones in the quarter-finals.
